Indie Music

I've recently discovered Black Lips (thanks to CurrentTV), but I'm not sure they'd count under indie. I've never heard anyone around anywhere really speak of them, but they are pretty good. Jack Conte? Nataly Dawn? Pomplamoose? :P This is fun.

Pared down and unlocked now.

"Indie" is an ambiguous term, and it's fine if you guys want to discuss how you define the term as you make recommendations, but there's no reason to criticize or make fun of someone who is operating under a different definition than you are. If this thread is going to stay open, there needs to be a little more leniency given to people's definitions of the genre.

Also, I don't see any reason to criticize how people discover their music. There's a thread on here about music-finding sites -- take that kind of discussion there if you must, but it needs to stay respectful.

Let's give this one more try, shall we?

Wow, you really took the time to rip this thread apart. At least you edited posts that had content instead of deleting them entirely like some mods do.

Anyway more music EEUUUHHHHHHH *sweats*

I'm sure you've all heard of Lemon Demon, but IMO this is his only listenable album:

For those of you who haven't heard of him, Neil Cicieraga is one of the greatest men of all-time and has done everything. He unfortunately doesn't write much music anymore except for special occasions, like SA forum threads, but there was a big craze about him when he did make music.

Just listened through Bloc Party's Silent Alarm... like 5 times. It's great. Helicopter, from Guitar Hero 3, is what turned me onto them, and all the other tracks are just as excellent. I think my favorite would have to be track 1, Like Eating Glass. Very unique style of guitar, and the vocals are odd, but they don't turn me off. I'd highly recommend giving the album a listen through.

Listened to Grizzly Bears Veckatimest today. I especially loved Foreground, very emotion grabbing. I'll definitely be listening to that album some more.

Literally just finished listening to ITAOTS again, it's better than I remembered. I'll probably listen to that more than I originally thought I would too.
